●●SolidNiche GemBig Brain
TypeScript in Postgres beats plv8's plain JavaScript with actual type safety.
Strengths
- •Deno's permission model provides sandboxing without sacrificing Node.js API compatibility.
- •npm packages cached at CREATE FUNCTION time avoids runtime dependency hell.
- •Automatic type mapping between PostgreSQL composite types and JavaScript objects.
Weaknesses
- •Alpha status with explicit production warnings limits immediate adoption.
- •V8 runtime cold-start requires shared_preload_libraries configuration.
